life and career

Neuberger was born in 1992 in the town of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, United States, where he grew up and was still alive at the time of his breakthrough. At a young age he set himself the goal of becoming an actor and, through his mother, came in contact with the model and acting agency named after John Robert Powers , which soon gave him an agent of its own. He accompanied Neuberger to various auditions at a young age, although the young acting talent initially only gained experience in local theater productions. However, Neuberger celebrated his international breakthrough in 2006 with the film Running Scared , where he took on one of the leading roles alongside Paul Walker and Vera Famiga and impressed in his role there as Nick Gazelle . The young actor, who already appeared in this role at the Young Hollywood Awards in 2005, was nominated for the same role in 2007 for a Young Artist Award in the category "Best Performance in a Feature Film - Leading Young Actor" in the end, however, against Logan Lerman , who in the film Owls - Little Friends in Great Danger! participated, defeated. In the same year Neuberger was seen in another leading role when he slipped into the role of Jack Unger in the film Underdog - Undefeated because he flies and was nominated for a Young Artist Award in the same category again for this engagement. This time, however, Neuberger lost to Josh Hutcherson , who received the award for his outstanding performance in Brücke nach Terabithia . In the years that followed, it became quiet about the young Northerner, who auditioned for the film Winter Solstice - The Hunt for the Six Signs of Light , among other things , but was unable to assert himself against the young Canadian Alexander Ludwig . It was not until 2011 that another feature film, in which Neuberger played a key role, was released. In Michelle Danner's Hello Herman , the young actor can be seen in the not entirely insignificant role of Michael Green .
